The good news is that the cause of the security issues has been found according to the latest statement by Bandai Namco on the Dark Souls Twitter account: The bad news is that, due to the time required to set up proper testing environments, the online services for the Dark Souls series on PC will not come back until after the release of Elden Ring. Bandai Namco has stated that they will continue to do everything they can to bring back the services as soon as possible and make an announcement as soon as the schedule is determined for resuming online services....

Well, today Bend Studio revealed a rebranding of sorts, including a new logo intended to differentiate the studio from some of Sony’s other West-Coast-US teams… Bend Studio has also revealed a few more details about their new game, which will “include mutliplayer” and build on the systemic open-world tech they developed for Days Gone. While the description above doesn’t necessarily rule out a more traditional story-driven adventure, it certainly sounds like Bend Studio is working on one of the dozen live-service games Sony aims to launch by the end of fiscal year 2025....

In a new report shared on Try Hard Guides, reliable insider Tom Henderson revealed that the long-anticipated game is set to be revealed again later this year.

Despite all of this, and being the worst-rated PC game in Metacritic history, the game is still pulling numbers, at least, according to VGC. On a daily basis, the game still apparently makes at least $1 million USD, despite its faults with pricing and microtransactions. The game’s also been downloaded over five million times on Google Play, according to the website AppMagic. Something worth noting is that the previously-stated $1 million daily revenue is an over 50% decline in daily value....

Eidos Montréal then released the Thief reboot in 2014 before going on to make Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, which was slightly less successful than its predecessor when it launched in 2016. The studio subsequently took over the development lead on Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the final installment in the reboot trilogy, since Crystal Dynamics was busy working on Marvel’s Avengers. Shadow of the Tomb Raider was released in September 2018, garnering an 8....

As reported by IGN, speaking during a Q&A session after receiving the Grand Award at the PlayStation Partner Awards 2022 Japan Asia a few days ago, Hidetaka Miyazaki revealed he has no idea why the studio’s latest game has been so successful compared to previous games. As such, he probably wouldn’t be able to replicate what made Elden Ring the success it is. Even if he could, he feels it would be a bad idea....

Featuring worldbuilding made by George R.R. Martin, Elden Ring aims to be the next evolution in the Soulslike formula with its open world design, stealth elements, mounted combat, and reduced stress for players. The developers recently shared the official PC system requirements; as a reminder, we previously learned that ray tracing would be added to Elden Ring at some point after the release. It’s fair to presume system requirements to be quite a bit higher for playing with ray tracing enabled, though....

SpaceX chief Mr. Elon Musk confirmed earlier this month that an accident during a test led to a pipe in a rocket booster prototype flattening out of shape. SpaceX is currently building and testing the Starship next generation launch system in Boca Chica, Texas and the company rolled back its booster prototype from the launch pad to its development facilities earlier this month after another accident that resulted in a huge fireball at the base of the rocket....

I guess Battlestate got tired of everyone ripping them off and decided to do some copying of their own. It also bears mentioning that Escape from Tarkov is also one of the most successful Russian-developed games, so perhaps they’re trying to fill a niche as companies like Activision Blizzard have pulled out of the Russian market following the country’s brutal invasion of Ukraine. Battlestate has had very little to say publicly about the invasion of Ukraine, sticking strictly to talking about their games....

The Radrose 76 Ultra-High-Definition Overhaul pack includes textures from various sources, including AI-upscaled textures, replacement textures created using real-world photo assets, and textures with better resolution from Fallout 3, 4, and New Vegas. The Fallout 76 Radrose 76 Ultra-High Definition Overhaul pack also includes optional Radiance files that add a glow effect to harvestable plants, cooking ingredients, and more, introducing a more subtle quality of life improvement over mods that attempt to do the same....

… So, it seems Square Enix really isn’t holding back with Final Fantasy XVI, as the Brazilian Rating System warns about violence, blood, torture, sex scenes, partial nudity, and drug use. There’s also some content that may court wider controversy, including hate crimes and what may be an attempted rape or sexual coercion. The classification board provided this handy list of all the potentially-offensive stuff in FF16 with an age-appropriateness label attached to each (the following translations were provided by Google, so forgive any awkward phrasing)....

A new look at the upcoming remake and its sequel, which will release sometime in 2023, has been shown during the September 2022 Nintendo Direct. Additionally, a remake of the third entry in the series has also been confirmed to be in the works and will release on a yet-to-be-confirmed release date. Front Mission 1st Remake was announced earlier this year, and very little has been said on it since, so it’s nice to know that the game is launching in the near future....

— Ice universe (@UniverseIce) November 7, 2022 [ORIGINAL STORY] When you are talking about the use of good cameras on their phone, Samsung is not known for making any downgrades, to be honest. The Galaxy S23 Ultra is not going to be different, either. Sure, the phone is going to be largely based on the same DNA as its younger brother, but we are going to get a massive camera upgrade, based on the information we have from this new tip....

You can look at the tweet below: — Steve H.McFly (@OnLeaks) October 20, 2022 Although it is nice to see Samsung making an effort, but such a design choice makes little to no sense, considering how you will have to look extremely closely to figure out the difference. [ORIGINAL STORY] We all know how Samsung is hard at work with the Galaxy S23 series, and only yesterday, we saw the first pictures of the base Galaxy S23 variants....
